In constant sorrow all through his days
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to ol' Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised
The place where he was born and raised
For six long years I've been in trouble
no pleasure here on earth I've found
For in this world, I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now
He has no friends to help him now
It's fair thee well, my old true lover
I never expected to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that Northern Railroad
perhaps I'll die upon this train
Perhaps he'll die upon this train
You can bury me in Sunny Valley
For many years there I may lay
And you will learn to love another
while I am sleeping in my grave
While he is sleeping in his grave
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you never will see no more
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on Gods golden shore
He'll meet you on God's golden shore
